You’ve got a market: now what?

Architect Scale

“When you’re the founder, people watch you, mirror you, and follow your lead.”  

- ALISA COHN, From Start-up to Grown-up


Is it possible for an entrepreneur to hire, build, and set loose a leadership team while delivering the product innovations or levels of service their customers have come to expect?

Add the development of new supplier relationships, the task of finding new funding, and the myriad of other ‘running the business’ activities faced by a company builder - it becomes a lot.

For a founder committed to building a value creation company, it’s essential.

How we help

As strategists and confidants, Liberated Leaders partners with chief decision-makers to surface the anxieties that often accompany change, and then embrace the operational structure, essential humanity, and relentless execution it takes to scale.

Ways to get started:

Who we are and how we work

Companies don’t grow, let alone scale, without the top decision-maker handing off some of the ball-juggling to other, precisely chosen leaders and infusing some of the special sauce that has made the company successful. 

As a team, we bring expertise from our work with companies like Accenture, Amazon, Apple, Fitbit, Getaround Oracle, and Walmart — and other companies too small for you to know their names — to scale the structures and complexities of people from diverse backgrounds and experiences essential to achieving a unified outcome.

Our Framework

Our process is straightforward but powerful.

Trust is earned

The Liberated Leaders team earns its way into your circle of trust and demonstrates value through three phases of engagement: Survey, Design, and Build. Engagements typically evolve from project-based to retainer-based, delivered in 90-day sprints.

Endorsements

Build a bigger vision without giving up the special sauce that made your company successful in the first place.

As business advisors, we help decision-makers and their teams set strategic and tactical direction —blending reflective inquiry, market trends and 50+ years of collective experience to consider right-sized options.

As fractional COOs we’re embedded, retainer-based executives operating inside companies. We hold overall objectives top-of-mind for the decision-maker and organization but with more latitude, serving as part of the leadership team while rolling up our sleeves to get things done (e.g., running the business, producing deliverables, developing successors).
